His gaze fell on the potential panel:

The moment he silently recited, platinum radiance illuminated the star sea, sweeping through like a tsunami, dyeing all the stars platinum.

The Aura of an Immortal King at Peak erupted, still climbing sharply, heading towards the end of the Immortal King realm.

A mass of golden Origin surged from Qin Jiang’s body, transforming into a golden figure. This was the power belonging to the ”Great Wind Book,” comparable to a Late Stage Immortal King, and it rushed towards the strongest Gates of Hell.

At the Black Tortoise River Bottom, an Immortal King’s Qi surged, and a figure broke out of the water, rushing towards the last Gates of Hell.

This was Xuanwu Immortal King, resurrected and returned. Originally, Qin Jiang thought the object suppressed at the bottom of the river was a contaminated Innate Heavenly God suppressed by Xuanwu Immortal King back then.

But in reality, it was a part of Xuanwu Immortal King’s body, contaminated by deathly vitality, which he had severed when he achieved the Dao.

Now, he had returned to life by relying on the remaining part of the Origin in that remnant body.

On the Wind Sea Great Grassland, the Demonic Ancestor stood opposite Qin Jiang.

Just as the Demonic Ancestor was about to speak, he realized that Qin Jiang had no intention of acknowledging him; instead, he pointed his fingers and thrust them into his own glabella.

A trace of green light appeared, manifesting as a peach tree-like phantom.

”Dong!”

A heartbeat-like sound came from the high heavens, and a green radiance descended, illuminating the entire star sea, then transforming into a beam of light that shot towards Qin Jiang.

Wherever it passed, tender, unknown shoots sprouted out of thin air. The leaves of the shoots opened and closed, revealing sharp fangs.

The Demonic Ancestor reacted instantly, charging towards Qin Jiang, intending to kill him while the green light restrained him!

But the next moment, Qin Jiang raised his hand and pressed lightly. Platinum flames instantly ignited on the Demonic Ancestor’s body, suppressing all his demonic flames.

The excruciating pain that penetrated his Soul caused the Demonic Ancestor’s expression to change drastically; he was bound in place.

He raised his hand, pointing at Qin Jiang. Specks of demonic light gathered, only to be devoured by the platinum flames.

His pupils constricted violently, ”You! You! You left a contingency in that Ten Directions Overlord Record!”

Qin Jiang ignored him, focusing all his efforts on stripping away the power of the Azure Emperor Longevity Record, which had already taken root throughout his body.

A sacred pressure, comparable to an Immortal King at Peak, suddenly descended, causing Qin Jiang’s body to momentarily stiffen. The green light also revealed its form: an Emperor wearing an imperial robe and possessing a majestic countenance.

The Azure Emperor, one of the oldest and most powerful Innate Heavenly Dao Heavenly Gods, though at the end of the Three Emperors, his vitality was arguably the best under the Heavenly Dao.

After long years, he, hidden behind time, had also already broken through the barrier of an Immortal King at Peak.

Tender peach branches spread from the star sea, scattering green light wherever they passed. The land instantly became covered with peach trees, bearing large green peaches.

And on the land where the peach trees took root, the originally brown-black soil gradually faded, transforming into a gray-white desert, and the green peaches on the peach trees also gradually turned pink.

Hoo—!

Platinum flames surged, scorching the heavens, incinerating all the peach trees into ashes that scattered upon the land.

The Azure Emperor’s figure appeared behind Qin Jiang, unaffected by the time freeze. He raised his palm and pressed down, striking towards Qin Jiang’s head.

In an instant, dazzling platinum light erupted from Qin Jiang’s body. He exerted force with his right arm, violently pulling out a section of root from his glabella.

Then, he turned around resolutely, gripping this section of root and smashing it towards the Azure Emperor. The root was covered in cracks, and as it opened and closed, sharp fangs could vaguely be seen within.

Boom—!

The Azure Emperor’s palm, which had just pierced through the platinum light, collided with Qin Jiang’s fist. The violent clash of forces directly crushed that section of root into nothingness.

Green light and platinum radiance engulfed the surroundings. Everyone on the continent was temporarily blinded at this moment. When the light dissipated, a drop of green blood fell, but before it reached the ground, it was incinerated by the platinum radiance.

Qin Jiang stood still in the sky, a slight smile on his lips, and a glint of amusement in his eyes, ”Finally, he’s back.”

The feeling of becoming an Array Dao Supreme was truly not something worth reminiscing about.

Now, the Ten Directions Overlord Record had ascended to the Immortal King Supreme realm, and all hidden dangers within his body had been completely removed.

At this moment, he was at his absolute Peak, only half a step away from the end of the Immortal King realm.

He looked ahead. Platinum chains wrapped around the Azure Emperor’s body, and half of his body appeared withered and woody.

Although that section of root seemed small, it was actually formed from 50% of the Azure Emperor’s Heavenly Dao Origin.

If not for that, the other party wouldn’t have jumped out as soon as he began trying to pull out that root section.

Now that it was destroyed and returned to the world, although it would slowly return to the other party’s body over time, that would be a matter of a millennium from now.

”Immortal King Qin, you cannot kill me. How about you let me ascend to the heavens and leave?” The Azure Emperor spoke, his voice like the howling wind.

Qin Jiang couldn’t help but smile, and with a slight raise of his hand, a platinum ring instantly expanded, sweeping across the entire continent, then returning after one breath.

Countless green light particles converged into a mass of Heavenly Dao Origin, bound within the platinum ring.

The Azure Emperor’s pupils suddenly constricted, ”Immortal King Qin, what an impressive method. Is this the power of an Array Dao Immortal King?”

Qin Jiang shook his head with a smile, ”Not just that. Although I cannot kill you, I can seal you until the day the heavens and earth wither.”

Having said that, he had no intention of continuing to communicate with the Azure Emperor. Even if he used every method, as long as the Azure Emperor didn’t want to speak, he still wouldn’t get any information he wanted.

He might as well seal him for several hundred thousand years, torturing him daily. Perhaps then the other party would consider changing his mind.

The platinum chains around the Azure Emperor gradually tightened, and his figure shrank accordingly, finally transforming into a platinum light cocoon the size of a Dragon’s eye and disappearing from the world.

Looking at the half of the Azure Emperor’s Heavenly Dao Origin in his hand, if anyone were to refine this item, they would be able to wield half of the Azure Emperor’s authority.

However, this Origin seemed to have some problems. Under the observation of the Eye of Array Dao, it emitted a wisp of unsettling black mist.

This wisp of black mist shared a common Origin with deathly vitality and the Azure Emperor’s distorted vitality, but its essence was clearly superior to both.

Putting away this mass of Heavenly Dao Origin, he looked at the other battlefields. Emperor Ancestor Sovereign had already finished his battle, devouring that Immortal King ancient beast in the star sea.

On the continent, the Human Emperor’s malevolent Incarnation and his Great Wind Book Incarnation had also suppressed the Gates of Hell and were rushing towards Xuanwu Immortal King and Immortal Lord Linglong.

On the other side, Sun Wukong was also causing that Immortal King figure to retreat steadily.

Several hours later, several Immortal Kings returned. For a moment, Immortal King Qi intertwined, and the heavens and earth trembled.

This scene was recorded by painters everywhere. It was probably impossible to find a depiction of several Immortal Kings standing side by side throughout ancient and modern times.

Faint, feather-like radiance appeared on the bodies of the Human Emperor’s malevolent Incarnation, Sun Wukong, and Xuanwu Immortal King.

Xuanwu Immortal King looked at Qin Jiang, ”Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for helping me return to life. When we meet again in the future, I will surely repay you handsomely.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the feather-like radiance around him was the first to boil, his figure disappeared, and his Qi could no longer be found in the world.

The Human Emperor’s malevolent Incarnation also bowed slightly, ”Fellow Daoist, we shall meet again in the future.”

After speaking, his figure also disappeared.

Sun Wukong looked at Immortal Lord Linglong. No, she was now Immortal King Linglong, her might not inferior to a Middle Stage Immortal King, showing her profound foundation.

For an era to simultaneously produce two Immortal Kings, Emperor Ancestor Sovereign and Immortal King Linglong, was an unprecedented golden age in recent history.

”Little monkey, go. Within ten thousand years, I will also ascend to the heavens and leave,” Immortal King Linglong said with a smile.

Sun Wukong’s eyes flickered. Just as he was about to say something, the feather-like radiance around him boiled, and his figure had already vanished.

After all, he had carried the Great Dao of the original Emperor Ancestor Immortal King. If he didn’t use Immortal King power, it would have been fine, allowing him to stay for one epoch.

But today, not only did he use his full power, but there were also two ancient Immortal Kings ascending to the heavens beside him, so he was dragged along.

After the three Immortal Kings departed, only Qin Jiang and the other two remained.

Qin Jiang looked at the Demonic Ancestor beside him, bound by platinum chains, unable to move a single inch.
